Unit 9 : Protecting the enviroment

I Reading

Nam’s father: What are you doing, Nam?

Nam: I’m preparing a presentation for my geography class.

Nam’s father: What’s the topic?

Nam: It’s environmental protection. My teacher asked me to do some research, but I don’t know
where to start.

Nam’s father: I think you should identify some environmental problems first. What have you
found so far?

Nam: I’ve come up with a range of environmental issues such as global warming, deforestation,
endangered animals and pollution, but I don’t know how to organise them.

Nam’s father: You should focus on each problem, explain the main causes of it, and the suggest
the solutions

Nam: Thanks, Dad. But presenting all the solutions will be hard.

Nam’s father: Have you asked your teacher for advice?

Nam: Yes, I have. She advised that I should start with small, practical actions to protect the
environment before coming up with big ideas that need a lot of effort or money to succeed.

Nam’s father: Sounds good. You’d better follow her advice. When did she ask you to present it?

Nam: She said I should present it the following week.

Nam’s father: You still have a lot of time. Good luck!

Nam: Thanks, Dad.
